Acorn Squash!

I love acorn squash!  But I have a really hard time finding different ways to prepare it.  It is a winter squash so should be limited on a Paleo eating plan.  But it is a nice variation from summer squash.
I found this recipe and modified.  I have made it twice in an effort to 'get it like I wanted it' and I think I have it.

Try it and see what you think.

This recipe serves 2.
1 acorn squash, halved and seeds removed
1/2 pound of ground Italian sausage (turkey or pork)
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup diced mushrooms
1 cup spinach leaves
1/4 cup diced bell pepper

brown sausage, onion, and pepper.  Drain thoroughly and stir in mushrooms and spinach.  Cook for 2-3 minutes.  Stuff into the cavity of squash.  (I put a little cheese on top of Lawrence's)

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

We both loved it!  Add a salad on the side and you have a complete meal.
